new design that Etm is doing it allows there to be a full gate without the pickup being in the way he just modifies the pump to use the outer port and blocks up the inner port and welds on a speedflow fitting to the sump and that's it

Seems pointless as many, many, many cars are tracked, dragged, street driven with internal pickups.

I'm getting it all done for a good price sans if not cheaper then a asr

and if you think about it there's probably less work you don't need to extend the pickup and get it in the right position and when the gates and baffles go in you don't have the pickup in the way it's just a straight farword winged gate

external pickup is what I have done, I have a box welded in the center of the sump with a pipe from that to the side of the sump with a AN-12 fitting all welded together then a AN-12 braided hose to the port in the side of the oil pump

it's a shorter, smoother run and the oil isn't running through a hot block gathering any extra heat soak and was alot easier to set up then a custom internal pick up and the ID size of this setup is bigger then the feed through the block, I opened up the side of the oil pump to except a bigger fitting then the 1/2" npt fitting thread the Nitto pump has so I have a minimum ID of 16mm

the hardest thing on this setup was drilling a hole through the A/C bracket so I could keep the A/C

that's exactly what I'm doing and you just helped out heaps I was trying to work out how to keep the ac iv just started a little fabrication shop from home so iv been flat out on other cars at the moment and haven't got to mine hopefully ill get to work on it soon

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
